4, 2010 I stole a few minutes today to run in and take a look at the Meerkats. The exhibit opened last Saturday. I was thrilled to have a good look at them. The pictures are taken through thick glass on a very sunny day. 'Meerkats are the most social of all the mongooses, and family groups live together in a pack or colony, which can contain up to 30 individuals.' [link] I counted 8 in the group I watched today. |
They seemed to like to cuddle up together.
A pair of them left the group to start their own, on the rocky slope.
Soon there were five!
These two were fascinated by the camera flashes.
I called this a Cuddle Puddle.
Here was the sentry, keeping watch for the rest of the gang.
I'm sure they appreciate it.
I look forward to my next visit.
